They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 47 The Invisible Guardian

The next day, Tang She got up very early and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.

Although he said he would pay the rent, it was only to prove that their relationship was completely innocent and there was nothing to hide.

Ren Wei's initiative to bring Tang She to live with her was a sign of her concern for him, and Tang She naturally appreciated it.

So he simply took the initiative to make breakfast, not because he felt he could repay the favor, but at least so that people wouldn't think he was ungrateful.

It's too abstract to expect someone to serve you when you're staying at their home.

After a while, a soft moan came from Ren Wei's room. Tang She, who was still busy in the kitchen, thought something had happened and hurriedly came out to check. Then he saw Ren Wei, wearing a black semi-transparent nightgown, yawning as she walked out of the room.

At this moment, she also saw Tang She coming out of the kitchen. She was slightly startled, and then, as if remembering something, she quickly retreated back into her bedroom.

Still not quite understanding the situation, Tang She scratched his head and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

When she came out again, she had changed into a cute yellow cotton pajama set, and Tang She had also prepared breakfast.

It's just regular congee with preserved egg and lean pork.

Seeing Ren Wei sit down at the table, Tang She served her a bowl of porridge.

"I don't see much food in the fridge, so all I can make is porridge. But this is my first time cooking this kind of porridge. I think it's alright, but if you don't like it, you can leave it."

Ren Wei was very dissatisfied with Tang She's words, but her previous actions had already exhausted all her courage. Looking at Tang She, who did not react at all, she wanted to explain something.

"That nightgown... never mind, let's eat."

Tang She naturally didn't understand what his senior was doing.

Although he had vaguely seen something, his mind was completely focused on the new game, so the image passed through his smooth cerebral cortex without leaving any trace.

Stopping himself from thinking about those random things, he went back to his bedroom, took out the project proposal for "The Invisible Guardian," and put it on the table.

"This is the new proposal, please take a look."

Ren Wei was still hiding her embarrassment with her face buried in her bowl when she caught a glimpse of Tang She's proposal on the table and couldn't help but complain:

"Group Two is so resentful right now, and you come up with another game?"

"It's okay, this proposal won't take long to complete."

Ren Wei put down her bowl and suspiciously took the document.

She turned the pages one by one, and when her gaze swept over the descriptions of the battlefield behind enemy lines, her previously drowsy eyes instantly cleared.

Time passed by, and the only sound in the dining room was the rustling of papers.

Tang She leaned quietly against the table, watching Ren Wei's expression change from calm to solemn, and finally her eyes even reddened slightly.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls..."

Ren Wei closed the script, took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and calmed her somewhat agitated emotions.

"This script is amazing. How are you planning to make it? Traditional 3D action games simply can't capture that sense of historical weight."

"We'll make a movie-game. We'll use live-action footage and let the player's choices advance the story, leading to different endings."

"Movies and games?"

Ren Wei was stunned for a moment.

While the game market exists in this world, even the best-selling titles only sell a little over 100,000 copies, making it a marginalized game category. However, based on her previous experiences, she now blindly trusts Tang She's judgment.

"Okay, what's the budget?"

Thirty million.

Tang She was a little embarrassed when he reported the number given by the system, after all, in his opinion, ten million was more than enough to make this game.

"Thirty million?"

Ren Wei frowned, not because she thought it was too much, but because she thought it was too little.

"Is this enough? To achieve that sense of period, costumes, props, and set construction are all very expensive. Add to that the actors' salaries... it doesn't seem like enough. Zelda also needs money, but it's not urgent, and if it's really not enough, I can go home and ask my dad for some."

Hearing this, Tang She broke out in a cold sweat.

Rich heiresses are different; she felt she had too much, while Ren Wei felt it wasn't enough at all.

"That's enough, that's enough, absolutely enough. Let's just find some amateur actors who meet the requirements."

Tang She explained that although the system recommended a series of well-known actors and actresses such as Zhang Mingyuan and Su Wanxin, he knew very well that if he invited these people, it wouldn't be enough, let alone 30 million.

"Apart from the main character, the acting of the other characters just needs to be passable. After all, this is a video game, not a movie, so the requirements for acting are not that high."

In the original plan, "Invisible Guardian" even used photos to represent the game process, but Tang She went straight to video this time, which is definitely stronger than before.

After Ren Wei finished breakfast, she drove Tang She directly to the company.

To be honest, it's definitely much more comfortable than squeezing onto the subway.

Inside the conference room of Tangren Games Company.

The employees in Group Two looked at each other, bewildered, as the words "Invisible Guardian" were displayed on the big screen.

They had just finished making the Fall Guys map and thought they could finally help with The Legend of Zelda, but Tang She suddenly threw out a new project.

"Don't worry, everyone. This time we're making a film-game. The directing and editing will be outsourced to outsiders. You'll just need to provide some technical support for the game. It won't interfere with your regular work in the team."

Hearing this, the members of Group Two breathed a sigh of relief.

The real torment is not being completely unaware, but rather knowing what a group is doing yet being unable to participate.

My husband is currently making this mistake.

Relieved, everyone started reading the script.

The atmosphere in the office grew increasingly somber, and the only girl in the group had already started wiping away tears.

Their last bit of resentment disappeared. If this game could make people aware of how arduous the lives of those who worked behind enemy lines were, they would be willing to make the sacrifice.

"Boss, when it comes to live-action movies and games, the most crucial thing is casting."

The female employee wiped away her tears and raised her hand to ask a question.

"Who are we planning to cast as our male lead, Xiao Tu? These days, those young, handsome actors aren't exactly cheap."

"Go to drama troupes and film academies to look for actors. The character Xiao Tu is outwardly a traitor but secretly an intelligence agent for our party. He needs to dance on three eggs, conveying a sense of brokenness and resilient forbearance while surviving in the cracks. These emotions are something those young idols who are always trending on social media can't portray. Of course, if you have any suitable recommendations, feel free to let me know, and I'll consider them depending on the situation."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then said a name he had never heard before.

Chen Sheng.
